After hours
The real move came after the bell. Volume picked up at 6:01 p.m. By 6:14 it hit $0.75 on over 100K shares.
Stop It's 6:19 p.m. TRUG is at $0.77, up from $0.58 twenty minutes ago. A GlobeNewsWire headline just came out: "INVESTOR ALERT: Pomerantz Law Firm Reminds Investors with Losses on their Investment in TruGolf Holdings, Inc. of Class Action Lawsuit and Upcoming Deadlines – TRUG". Would you buy here?
